Sample medal created for the Calgary Games is exactly like the ones presented to the world's top skiers, bobsledders and hockey players except for the small "Sample" stamped into both sides and the wood and lucite case that houses it. Attached plaque reads: "Official Sport Medal, XV Olympic Games, Supplied by Jostens Canada". The stunning design on the reverse of the medal includes the profile of an athlete crowned with an olive wreath and an Indian in a full headdress composed of sports equipment. A gorgeous display piece sure to bolster any Olympic collection.
